Readography Makes Learning Stress FreeAbstract – Learning or Academic stress in students has been on a rise with the increase in competition and pressure on students. It has been observed by many researchers that this is resulting in several mental and physical issues among students. The intention to find a solution to this stress in students inspired this work. We measured learning stress in a group of students in 9th and 10th standard, implemented Readography (it is a skill of turning pages) as a regular learning methodology in the school and found stress to reduce in every student when we again measured stress of the same group of students after 20 days of implementation of Readography.
